Default It Lives!!!

I went through everything again this morning after thinking about this all night. I double checked everything again, when I noticed that the front carb fuel bowl level was lower than it should be. While trying to adjust it, it started leaking from the screw, even after I locked it back down. Took carb off and pulled bowl off. Sure enough the float tang was bent. I bent it back in place, eyeballed an approximate float level, and reinstalled carb. It fired up after a few tries. Went through and adjusted all float levels with car running. Still trying to clear my lungs from all of the exhaust in the garage , but it was worth it.

Hopefully this solved the problem. Thanks to all for your input and suggestion. I will keep you all posted on final outcome.
